Cheapest 500 hp car

2018 was a bit of a strange year for the automotive industry. There was an uptick in the number of light-duty pickups and SUVs sold, but car sales were down an average of 15% across all manufacturers. Despite that, Mark Lines reported that overall new vehicle sales were up 0.3% for 2018. That’s not a great percentage, but certainly better than a decline. However, the real winners for vehicle sales in 2018 were used car dealers. Edmunds reports that Q3 used vehicle sales were up by 5% from the same period in 2018, with a total of 10.2 million sales for the quarter. This is especially significant, considering that used car prices are the highest they’ve been since 2005. The reason used car dealers seem to be winning out is a simple – the Internet. With improved data, shoppers now have the power to analyze nearly every aspect of a used car before they even see it. Some shoppers never see the car at all before buying. There was a sharp increase in buyers using … [Read more...] about The 5 Best-Selling Used Car Models of 2018, According to Used Dealers

We’ve wanted to do this for the longest time, come out with a year-end list of the cars that dazzled us in a particular calendar year, but somehow it never quite panned out. Now that we’ve got a bit of a team where writers are concerned (!), there really is no excuse not to do so, and so, here’s our first ever Top 5 list in our very last post of 2012. Why five? Well, most lists have 10, but instead of going the “Top 10 selected by the publication, and by group consensus” route, I decided to get everyone to each come up with the five that most impressed them this year, and as such this is an individual pick list of the cars we drove in 2012 (yes, to make it on a list, the choices had to be ones that were driven). Whittling it down to five makes it a tad more difficult – for one selection becomes a pickier process. Well, at least that was the plan! Technical competence and resale value (hello, Sam Loo!) may be deciding factors when it comes to buying a … [Read more...] about The paultan.org 2012 Top Five cars list

If you’re not a fan of motorcycles, then you probably had no idea that you can now purchase a brand new means of transportation from BMW for the shockingly low price of $4,750. Compared to most other bike manufacturers, BMW have always been a bit more expensive – sometimes a lot more, depending on which category of motorcycle we’re discussing. A few years back though, the German brand decided to dip its toes in the sub 500cc street bike segment for the very first time. The product is called the G 310 R and before you decide to fact-check us, we’re aware that, technically, there are other, cheaper BMW products you can use to get around, like BMW bicycles or their tiny City Scooter, which costs just €200 ($234). Yet, writing something about either of those felt a lot less interesting than talking about a product with actual horsepower at its disposal. Back to the G 310 R – its price tag is considerably smaller than anything else you might find at BMW … [Read more...] about The World’s Cheapest New BMW Retails For Just $4,750, Has 33 HP

Hagerty issued its yearly list of new cars that could become future collectibles in the "Hagerty Hot List." This year's list is pretty varied and includes a strong showing from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. As always, the cars have to cost less than $100,000 and must be 2018 models. Peering into its crystal ball, here are Hagerty's 10 picks for sought-after cars in the decades to come—and we weigh in. 1. Audi RS 3. It's possible that the least expensive Audi Sport model one day becomes a future classic. With an oddball 2.5-liter turbocharged 5-cylinder engine that makes 400 horsepower, it certainly begins to tick off the right boxes. However, its starting price of $55,875 is mighty steep for a small sport sedan. It may depend on just how many RS 3s Audi sells. 2. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE. Last year, the Camaro ZL1 made the "Hagerty Hot List," and this year, its track-focused brother joins it. Right now, the Camaro ZL1 1LE is the epitome of the nameplate with 650 hp and an identical … [Read more...] about Classic mock: Hagerty publishes its 2018 future collector car list
